This is so unfair!
I thought the kids were supposed to act childish in front of the parents and make silly demands, not the other way around.
But apparently, the heart wants what it wants, right? And you just have to give it to it. Noor here had shared her story with us when her mother insisted on keeping a parrot in the house. And that too secretly. I know, totally crazy, right? But it’s hell fun as Noor helped her mom to fulfill her life-long wish while trying to hide it from her family. The conclusion? You gotta read the whole story to find out.
Scroll down if you want a good dose of laughter.
When your mother suddenly calls from the other room, you wonder what have you done wrong, but then this happens…
A secret parrot? Are you kidding me?
How can the members of the house not see it?
Mothers always know a way to everything.
No one NEEDS a parrot.
I don’t understand what’s the rush.
Can a cat and a parrot ever be best friends?
Please do.
She has a valid point. It’ll be lonely and sad.
Let’s see how that goes.
Those times when you kinda feel defeated against your mom.
I can’t believe I’m having to bargain with her. Trying to talk her down down from 4 to 1. PREFERABLY NONE.

She’s a stone cold liar. No one else in the house knows she’s going on this parrot mission. She just lied to my sister about where we’re going. My sister would actually scream if she knew about my mum’s antics.
Ngl, I’m starting to give in. Sitting here watching my mum lie like pic.twitter.com/qfH5k1XfAQ

She really seems to be like on a secret mission, the crazy lady!
We’re on our way to see the parrot lady. My mother looks crazy. She’s driving really fast and giggling to herself pic.twitter.com/Bl2kiDPRbg

Lies. More lies.
My sister just called me asking where we are, my mum mouthed “TES-CO, say we’re at TES-CO”. I’m sweating. pic.twitter.com/C5DzxG9SBj

I wish I could see her mother’s face at this point.
Phew. So they just got two.
I can’t wait to see what happens when they get home.
Um. So… We’re on our way home. pic.twitter.com/JZ8fp7JY5H

I honestly don’t know what to say.
Okay, it’s show time people!
You don’t understand. We’ve been having this bird argument for a decade now. My mum has been fighting to get birds in the house for YEARS. There’s 11 of us, and half of the fam have always protested. I tried to talk sense to her but she’s gone full rogue.

Hey! Don’t blame her! She tried, okay?
Sister: What… what have you done
Mum: I’ve done what needed to be done. I need them.
Sister: You didn’t NEED parrots!!
Mum: THEY’RE LOVE BIRDS
Sister: NOOR, why did you let her do this??
Me: pic.twitter.com/Ny1wGw6w0L
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
Seriously?
Sister: you can’t just bring birds into the house
Me: I mean she kind of just did
Sister: pic.twitter.com/TfLp0bOg6O
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
Yeah, thank your sister! It could have been worse if it wasn’t for her.
BUT WHY?!
Me: LOOK, I had to talk her out of chickens. And she wanted four parrots but I bargained it down to two. This could’ve been a lot crazier.
[enter kids]
Kids: AWWWWWWWW
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
Mum: just look at them, aren’t they precious?
Sister: Well yeah they’re adorable but we can’t keep them
Mum: pic.twitter.com/a8OS3YCgWz

Does puppy face still work?

As a mother, she’s NEVER wrong.
Sister: [sigh] okay, well, let’s see what Dad says when he gets home. He’s allergic.
Mum: he’s not
Sister: mum.
Mum: he made it up
Sister: mum no.
Mum: As your mother, I am never wrong.
Sister: pic.twitter.com/R4Mt39tWQp

I hate waiting.
And now we wait for dad. pic.twitter.com/LFuE79W7mc
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
Uh oh. Dad’s home.
This CANNOT be happening.
HE’S HOME.
Dad: pic.twitter.com/6wlZG4ZPXD
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
Oh, get over it already!
Mum: Do you love me?
Dad: Yes dear, I love you but I don’t think tha-
Mum: I don’t need you to think, I just need to accept the situation.
Dad: pic.twitter.com/URaFRq1Spq
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
How exactly do allergies work?
Mum: I NEED them
Dad: You don’t NEED them
Mum: YOU DONT KNOW ME
Dad: WE’VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 42 YEARS, OF COURSE I KNOW YOU
Mum: THEN YOU KNOW HOW BADLY I NEED THEM
Dad: I HAVE ALLERGIES
Mum: I DON’T SEE YOU SNEEZING
Dad: THAT’S NOT HOW ALLERGIES WORK pic.twitter.com/cWmlsxJc8m
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
That’s so romantic!
Dad: What if we just kept one?
Me: They’re love birds and they mate for life, they’ll very literally die without each other.
Dad [to mum]: that reminds me, I’ve booked us a weekend away for our anniversary this year
The rest of us: awww
Mum: pic.twitter.com/c9HneCvpsn
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
Oh yay! They get to keep them!
Sister: We really need to make a decision guys
Me: you’re such a mood killer
Sister: You better stfu, you’re just as bad as mum.
[long pause]
Dad: [sigh] what are we naming them?
Mum: pic.twitter.com/SbdLgqAazQ
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
Hooray!
The rest of us: pic.twitter.com/dsFaOmlcAN
— Noor (@Himynameisnoor)
Let’s just keep that a secret.
Dad [to me]: I guess it could be worse. At least she didn’t bring chickens home ha
…Little does he know she was asking the bird lady how much each hen costs and if they lay quality eggs pic.twitter.com/WfVhKFjYHP

Any suggestions, guys?
We haven’t named them yet. Feel free to drop some suggestions! pic.twitter.com/vuK3M6Pxio
